A care home for elderly people in #southernBrazil has come up with a creative way to bring some love to its residents amid the coronavirus pandemic, by creating a “hug tunnel” that allows relatives to safely embrace them
The idea emerged last month, shortly after Mother’s Day, when a staff noticed some residents were feeling down
Brito told CNN the idea for the “hug tunnel” came from a viral video, where a woman in the United States created a plastic curtain in order to hug her mother
The tunnel consists of a large plastic sheet with four arm holes in it, which is attached to one of the facility’s entrances. The arm holes are also covered in plastic and allow visitors to hold their loved ones without coming in direct contact with them
To keep the “hug tunnel” safe, the visits are scheduled ahead of time and the area is disinfected every 30 minutes
